On October 24, I’ll be in New York City for the Bank Street Bookfest. My panel — at 11:15AM — is called “Young Women in the (Plot) Driver’s Seat,” and will also include Laura Amy Schlitz, Kat Yeh, and Liz Kessler. But come for the whole day if you can, for there will be writers and artists galore, including my favorite dance partner Rita Williams-Garcia.
